Please see the following thread at Apache Forrest which explains
the problem with conducting our release vote on a package that contained
not only our project sources but also contained other binary files.
That thread links to an important discussion at Apache Incubator, etc.
Subject: [Proposal] re-release 0.9 with proper source code package

There would be a similar situation for the Cocoon-2.1.11 release vote.
